Jelena Ostapenko expresses regret over her remarks about Taylor Townsend's education and social status, while Coco Gauff prepares to face off against Naomi Osaka in an upcoming match.
In the ongoing US Open 2022, several intriguing developments have taken place in the women's singles competition. Here's a summary of some of the most notable occurrences.
Coco Gauff, the young American tennis star, expressed relief and enjoyment after advancing to the fourth round of the US Open. Despite a minor setback in the first set of her match against Magdalena Frech, Gauff recovered to win comfortably with a score of 6-3 6-1. Gauff is optimistic about her emotional state moving forward, citing support from fans as a positive factor.
Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka, the four-time Grand Slam champion, also progressed to the fourth round, defeating Daria Kasatkina. This is the first time Osaka has made it back to the fourth round of a grand slam since her victory in Australia in 2021.
Iga Swiatek, the current world number one, staged a comeback to defeat Anna Kalinskaya in the US Open. Swiatek saved four set points in the first set, eventually winning 7-6(5) 6-3. Swiatek's opponent in the fourth round will be Ekaterina Alexandrova.
Another unexpected development came in the form of Taylor Townsend's victory over fifth seed Mirra Andreeva, which propelled her into the third round. Townsend's progression was further boosted by Jelena Ostapenko's apology for her comments towards Townsend during their match. Ostapenko's comments led to claims of racism from certain quarters, and the Latvian player has since issued a public apology. Townsend welcomed the apology, expressing gratitude for Ostapenko's acknowledgement of her mistake.
Osaka also expressed admiration for Gauff's maturity and talent, recalling their previous encounter six years ago. Gauff, in her efforts to remodel her action, had four more double faults in her third-round match against Magdalena Frech. However, she managed to overcome this setback and secure her place in the fourth round.
In a separate development, Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez advanced to the third round of the women's doubles competition. The pair will be hoping to continue their strong form and challenge for the title.
As the US Open 2022 progresses, these players will look to maintain their form and secure their places in the latter stages of the tournament. With the competition heating up, it promises to be an exciting few days of tennis.
